New York drivers will soon be able to get traffic regulations for each city block online, Department of Transportation officials said yesterday.

“Members of the public will be able to run their own queries and obtain parking regulation information for large or small areas or by specific block,” David Woloch, DOT’s deputy commissioner, testified at a City Council hearing.

Lawmakers were trying to force DOT to do this, but Woloch said the agency had already begun a process that could be completed by August 2009. But Woloch and his colleagues irked lawmakers when they said temporary parking restrictions, like those that result from movie crews or street fairs, won’t be included.
